Haemostatic
wound healing sheet
(clri)
Technology/Process Description:
It is a cost effective, biocompatible as well as biodegradable
chemically modified fibrin sheet which is prepared by graft copolymerizing the
fibrin film, obtained by drying the purified, bleached and masticated fibrin
paste, with a biocompatible, hydrophilic monomer, followed by optional
incorporation of drug and subsequent drying and casting into sheet of desired
size and shape.
The sheet has potential use as a dressing aid in the
treatment of various wounds of diversified nature including external injury,
cut, burn and even ulcers in animal as well as human being. It prevents loss of
electrolyte from the wound site and also prevents any infection in the
wound.
The uniqueness of the
process lies in the economical utlization of crude fibrin, which is otherwise
thrown as waste, thereby making wealth out of waste.

FORMALDEHYDE
(CLRI)
Technology/Process Description:
The product is essentially a multi-functional organo-polymeric matrix,
which is free from formaldehyde. This formaldehyde free polymeric syntan has
potential application in chrome tanning of leather as an exhaust aid for
chrome. Moreover, it is possible to avoid the pickling operation by using this
syntan which emerges as an effective solution for tackling the problem of TDS
associated with the effluent of leather processing industry. Moreover, use of this syntan in tanning
enhances the chromium uptake to more than 93%. The presence of this syntan
enables a reduction in the offer of filling syntan in wet finishing by about
30-40%. Further, the syntan does not undergo photo-oxidation on ageing. The
product provides a very economical as well as eco-friendly option of leather
processing.The technology is patent protected and has
been commercialized.

CHEMO
AUTOTROPHIC ACTIVATED CARBON (CAACO) SYSTEM FOR WASTE WATER TREATMENT
(CLRI)
Technology/Process Description:
It is an integrated system of
biological and chemical oxidation carried out in a single hybrid reactor packed
with activated carbon based redox resin. The process involves anaerobic
treatment of the waste water followed by
wet air oxidation using activated carbon which contains Chemo Autotrophic
bacteria in immobilized state. Oxygen required for the oxidation of organics is
facilitated by supplying air from the bottom of the rector. Since only the
stoichiometric quantity of oxygen is supplied for oxidation, utilization of
electrical energy is minimized, leading to a saving of electrical power
consumption to an extent of 75%, as compared to the conventional aerobic
system. The treatment eliminates about 92% of suspended solids, 98%BOD, 85%
COD, 100%sulfide, 100% odour with high degree of performance consistency.
Another major advantage of the system is that the pH of the processed liquor
lies very close to the neutral range, thereby facilitating easy disposal of the
processed water.
The technology has successfully been
implemented in several tanneries for treatment of the tannery effluents. It has
also been implemented in multiple textile units ( United Bleachers,
Mettupalayam; India Dyeing Pvt. Ltd, Erode; Shuttleweaves, Karur;
Celebrity,Madras) Sago units as well as chemical units. The technology has also been found to be
suitable for treating domestic sewage and has already been commercially operational.

RECONSTITUTED
COLLAGEN SHEET (RCS)
(CLRI)
Technology/Process Description:
The other Technologies available in
this group (collagen based wound healing material) are collagen sheet,
collagen sponge, collagen particles, RCS with silver
Reconstituted Collagen sheet (RCS) is
non-immunogenic, semitransparent cover, which seals the wound while breathing
like skin, thereby healing without scar formation. Bovine achilles tendon is
solubilised by mechanical, enzymatic and chemical treatment and the pure
soluble collagen is purified by successive precipitations at acidic/alkalinne
pH. The pure soluble collagen is cut into sheets, cross linked with UV/GTA and
sterilised after dry packaging. Unlike collagen sheet, it sticks over the
wounds very easily, whereby the progress of wound healing can be monitored
easily from outside because of the semi-transparent nature of the sheet. It is
an ideal skin substitute for the management of first and second degree of
non-infected burns, raw areas caused by release of burns contractures,
traumatic loss of skin cover, skin donor sites, amputation sites, chronic skin
ulcers, shallow pressure sores and dermal abrasion cases. In third degree burns
they are useful as a temporary cover after escharectomy/tangential excision.
The RCS can be reconstituted into membrane and sponge material. The technology
has already been transferred.

parchment
like material
(CLRI)
Technology/Process Description:
The product is essentially a thin,
flexible as well as transparent sheet resembling a parchment and is prepared from
materials like chrome shavings, trimmings from skin/hide, which are subjected
to alkali hydrolysis under controlled conditions. The paste
is treated with plasticiser/ crosslinker and is finally cast into sheet,
which is dried to get parchment like material.
The sheet finds application in the products industry for fabrication of several
decorative/fancy items like puppets, lamp shades, chandeliers, wall hangers,
table tops etc. The unique feature of the process is that the acidified chrome
solution, generated as a byproduct, can be reused in leather processing,
thereby suggesting a viable method for chrome recovery/reuse in leather
processing industry. Moreover, the material is not prone to insect damage or
putrefaction. Thus the process essentially suggests an eco-friendly as well as
economical method of utilization of the chrome shavings, which would otherwise
add to disposal problem, to make value added products, thereby creating wealth
out of waste.
